Chapter 260: Mucheng is difficult to overcome

The next day, the Uzi people finished dancing in the morning, and after warming up a body, they slowly slaughtered out of the camp and slaughtered towards the wooden city. The armies of Mucheng were in full array, and the Uzi soldiers were divided into four routes to reach Mucheng from four directions. They thought that Mucheng had a limited number of troops, but Mucheng had 18,000 foot soldiers at this time, most of them were old soldiers who had seen bloody killings on the battlefield, although there were still many old wounds on the soldiers that had not healed, but the more they encountered this kind of fierce battle, the old soldiers completely forgot the old wounds.

The Uzi people put in 10,000 troops in four directions, and the Uzi people learned to be obedient this time, everyone held wooden shields, although the protection was not fake, the wooden shields were still very heavy, but the covering scattering of the wooden city was useless, and the soldiers could only aim and shoot, and the lethality plummeted.

However, the attack on the back was already a loss, and what made it even worse was that the Uzi people lacked siege equipment, and even lacked siege ladders to climb. After the Uzians dispersed the attack, the Han army only had to hold their hands on the mouth of each ladder, and the Uzbes had shorter weapons and were killed by the Han army's spear guns. But at the same time, the sneak attack of the Uzi people, especially the hand axe, still made the Han army suffer, and many soldiers were hit by the hand axe before they could dodge.

After a day of fighting, the Uzi retreated.

In this battle, the Uzi lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and the Han soldiers suffered 300 casualties, and most of the Han troops were shot by the Uzi people's hand axes and bows.

Zhang Xiaowu didn't care about the 200 casualties, and after collecting the corpses and treating the wounded, he still stuck to the front line of the city. As a commander, Zhang Xiaowu didn't need to carry a knife and a bow to fight in person, which made him itch and wanted to rush over to fight for a while. However, he resisted the impulse and sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, watching his soldiers defeat the Uzi.

After the defeat of the Uzi people, they returned to the camp, and they began to sum up, and finally concluded that although the scattered attack would allow the Han army to disperse the defense, they only had a hundred ladders, and they could only put in twenty-five soldiers at a time after dispersion, so the Han army only needed to hold the entrance of twenty-five ladders.

"We made a big mistake." Prince Ahrahan admitted his mistake in time and won the forgiveness of the soldiers, and they rearranged the way of attacking, and on the third day, the Uzi attacked the eastern gate with all their might.

Seeing that the Uzi people put all their forces on the east side, Zhang Xiaowu also put the main force on the east side and rotated the garrison battalion to defend the city.

Zu Gongmao and Shen Lindong were so excited that they screamed, Zu Gongmao held two knives in his hand and shouted to Shen Lindong: "You command for me, I'll kill for a while!" Then he ran away with a puff of smoke, leaving Shen Lindong, who was stunned and was wearing armor and preparing to fight.

Shen Lindong was unhappy, so he had to sit in the city gate tower to command the battle, but fortunately, at this time, Zhang Xiaowu arrived with Guancheng and other pro-guard battalions, and the role of the pro-guard battalion was to prepare for battle, but it seemed that they would not need it for a while. Zhang Xiaowu saw from a distance that Zugong Mao was fighting with the Uzi soldiers like crazy, and his double swords danced out of two silver circles, and the Uzi soldiers all fell from the city with broken hands and feet in front of him.

"Yo! Zugong Mao's martial arts have improved a lot. Zhang Xiaowu commented.

Shen Lindong also began to comment: "This knife should not be cut like this, if it is three inches down, the enemy will definitely not be able to dodge." ”

Zhang Xiaowu agreed: "If the force is too fierce and leaves no room for error, this style of play is difficult to last." ”

Shen Lindong said with a smile: "The ancestor I know is like this, this person usually giggles and grins, and looks like an ordinary person, but as soon as he goes on the battlefield, he goes crazy, and he will never stop every time he doesn't hurt himself." ”

As he was talking, Zu Gongmao came back, with an arrow on his shoulder, still bubbling blood, and heard him laughing: "Enjoyable! Enjoyable! It's really enjoyable! It's so happy to kill Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Xiaowu and Shen Lindong glanced at each other, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

If the onslaught on the third day gave the Uzi a glimmer of hope, then the onslaught on the fourth day made the Uzi suspicious, and they did not achieve anything other than leaving thousands of corpses, and even the Han army did not burn the ladder and allowed their corpse collection team to collect the corpses.

The four consecutive days of strong attacks by the princes of Uzi, Ahrahan, led to the loss of nearly 5,000 Uzi soldiers, and even the death of his henchmen Arabi and Aituri, who had to repair for two days.

The defenders of Mucheng also took the opportunity to recuperate for two days and held a mourning ceremony for the 1,000 soldiers who died in the defense of the city.

Unlike the dancing of the Uzi people, Zhang Xiaowu's dead soldiers' battalion has been required to sing military songs to bid farewell to his comrades during mourning ceremonies from the beginning, and this tradition has continued to this day. Everyone sang the song "Eternal Warrior" together, and the song was sad and distant, and many people cried while singing.

After a song, the generals were disbanded, and Zhang Xiaowu ordered the thousand corpses to be pulled outside the city for burial.

When the Uzi soldiers saw the gates wide open, they reported to the Uzi camp, and the Uzi prepared to attack. But it soon got dark, and the malnourished Uzi people could not see anything in the night, so they had to return to the barracks in disarray. But this failed sneak attack made Zhang Xiaowu see the weakness of the Uzi people, it turned out that the Uzi people were not only weak in combat, the soldiers were malnourished, and everyone had night blindness.

Originally, he thought that the Uzi people were dark, and if there was a night battle, the Han army would accidentally be killed by the Uzi people's "stealth technique" hiding in the dark, but the Uzi people who suffered from night blindness were afraid of the dark.

Zhang Xiaowu immediately asked people to prepare wolf smoke, ordered the garrison battalion to rest well, and prepare for a decisive battle, and the city defense battalion continued to hold out for a few days, exhausting the fighting spirit of the Uzi people.

Despite Surmeta's persuasion, Prince Ahrahan once again launched a fierce attack on Mucheng on the seventh day, and Xiao Kai and Hu Li had adapted to commanding the battle and became more and more proficient in dealing with it. On the seventh day, the battle lasted from morning to dusk, and the Uzi people were still badly damaged, and seeing that their morale had plummeted and it was difficult to hold on, the Wuhuan general Helati rushed to the wall.

Armed with two sledgehammers, Helati swept through thousands of armies wherever she passed, and none of them resisted.

Shen Lindong rushed up with an iron rod, and was smashed three times by Hairati, and smashed an iron rod into a U-shape. At this time, Zu Gongmao rushed forward with two knives in his hand, but he was also smashed back by Hailati, but fortunately, at this time, Xiao Kai and the archers shot the guards around Hailati to death. Shen Lindong and Zu Gongmao glanced at each other, and said in amazement: "This man like the Black Tower is really born with divine power. ”

In the evening, everyone like Zhang Xiaowu talked about this Uzi warrior with a double hammer, which immediately aroused his vigilance, and it seemed that he had underestimated the Uzi people.

On the eighth day, Zhang Xiaowu personally defended the city, and Chen Qing's Qingzi battalion also participated in the defense of the city as a rotation, and after the wounded soldiers joined the defending troops one after another, the defense of Mucheng was greatly improved. The Uzi people only saw the thousands of defenders on the city wall, but did not see the rotation of the Han army in the city, so that they had the illusion that everyone on the other side was immortal, and the morale of the Uzi people began to plummet.
